Or unfortunate enough to inhale it in its aerosolized form after an impact.

Depleted uranium does not present a significant radioactive hazard (unless you are stupid enough to eat it). It affects the kidneys and symptoms are similar to heavy metal poisoning. I should know, I was a nuclear weapons technician for 15 years.

I was an explosive ordinance specialist for the USAF I think I know. And I have training in disarming and recovering nuclear weapons. That includes deplete uranium sabots and Ammunition. There is a reason other then exposure abrahms sabot rounds are in a seperate unit contained within the tank turret.

Use of radioactive munitions is so totally irresponsible, and so typical of the DoD -- there are some places we really don't want to go. It's so unsurprising and yet so sickening, that we as a nation would contenance the use of such toxic materials - and it's not a backup threat like nukes in the cold war, we used these munitions in Iraq. There are true moral absolutes, and if we can live with ourselves in this case, then the US has lost any claim to holding the moral high ground in the world.

According to statistical studies comparing children of DU exposed Vets, Children of Vets who were not exposed to DU and Children of the population at large, indicates the birth defect rates are equivalent.
However, I do not know if the same studies have shown any contribution of the vaccines. The vaccines may cause health problems.
Have you been tested?

Go to the VA and get tested for DU poisoining. ALso GWS has possibly been linked to some of the vaccines given during that period. Get in the VA database so they can help. 24th Mech Acorns!

About 9/11, I heard that world trade center was sold two-weeks than it crashed and the Pentagon was burned down to destroy some dirty files in it...

It isnt fair fight... Where are swords and shields!? :( Every guy can kill you with a gun... And this is crap! It doesn't even kill you. It leave you you to die, but not just you, it will kill your kids too, if you make them after. Not honorable, at all. Bush is gay... |
